I've found a fix but am reporting this bug as such for completeness' sake. Please note that I am new to Gentoo Prefix. As per the summary an emerge attempt failed with the latest gentoo prefix on a snow leopard installation. Here's a concise build log: $ emerge cscope <snip> Making all in src make[2]: Entering directory `/Volumes/CodeBox/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-util/cscope-15.7a-r1/work/cscope-15.7a/src' /Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/bin/bash ../ylwrap fscanner.l lex.yy.c fscanner.c -- flex if i686-apple-darwin10-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/usr/include -O2 -pipe -march=nocona -MT fscanner.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/fscanner.Tpo" -c -o fscanner.o fscanner.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/fscanner.Tpo" ".deps/fscanner.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/fscanner.Tpo"; exit 1; fi /Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/bin/bash ../ylwrap egrep.y y.tab.c egrep.c y.tab.h egrep.h y.output egrep.output -- bison -y conflicts: 2 shift/reduce if i686-apple-darwin10-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/usr/include -O2 -pipe -march=nocona -MT egrep.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/egrep.Tpo" -c -o egrep.o egrep.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/egrep.Tpo" ".deps/egrep.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/egrep.Tpo"; exit 1; fi if i686-apple-darwin10-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/usr/include -O2 -pipe -march=nocona -MT alloc.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/alloc.Tpo" -c -o alloc.o alloc.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/alloc.Tpo" ".deps/alloc.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/alloc.Tpo"; exit 1; fi if i686-apple-darwin10-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/usr/include -O2 -pipe -march=nocona -MT basename.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/basename.Tpo" -c -o basename.o basename.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/basename.Tpo" ".deps/basename.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/basename.Tpo"; exit 1; fi if i686-apple-darwin10-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/usr/include -O2 -pipe -march=nocona -MT build.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/build.Tpo" -c -o build.o build.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/build.Tpo" ".deps/build.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/build.Tpo"; exit 1; fi In file included from build.c:50: /Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/usr/include/ncurses.h:539:40: error: macro "cbreak" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0 /Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/usr/include/ncurses.h:564:44: error: macro "erasechar" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0 /Users/robin/CodeBox/gentoo/usr/include/ncurses.h:600:43: error: macro "killchar" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0 This problem has been encountered with cscope 15.6 and solved by Fabian. [See Bug URL above]. My solution was based on a patch from Fabian. Here's what I did to solve the problem. Note that this is not intended to be a solution but IMHO the clearest way I could think off to describe the solution. I graciously leave a proper solution to more knowledgeable folk.

I've tested cscope's functionality with vim emerged with USE=cscope abd I can confirm that it works perfectly. I'll be happy to provide any more information and I apologise if this is incomplete.
the ebuild has a double src_unpack, that's why the original patch isn't applied and the interix patch has been added twice :(
double src_unpack removed
